Hi,

While working on CVE-2026-66020 (which had a few revision on list), I
kept finding several places where virtio-gpu scanout and dmabuf
ownership was unclear.

The CVE comes from using a blob after RESOURCE_DETACH_BACKING has
unmapped its memory. Following that path also found stale dmabuf
references, duplicated scanout bookkeeping, and inconsistent cleanup
between display backends.

Those changes touch a lot of area and I have done basic testing with the
various backends. I would not recommend backporting them all to stable.
The first 2 patches address CVE-2026-66020 in the general case and
should be safe to backport.

thanks

Changes in v3:
- updated "virtio-gpu: fix use-after-free on blob cursor", now "clear res->blob 
on mapping cleanup"
- always disable GL when clearning scanout in "virtio-gpu: consolidate 
disabling scanout"
- drop "vhost-user-gpu: release DMA-BUFs on scanout disable" for now
- rebased, collect rb trailers
- Link to v2:

Changes in v2: addresses Akihiko review
- reorder to have CVE fix first, easily back-portable (but also more
  limited fix)
- include virtio_gpu_{simple,virgl}_resource_new() patch, and other sent
  separately
- move draw_submitted from QemuDmaBuf to VirtualGfxConsole
- contrib/vhost-user-gpu: disable scanouts on resource unref
- drop rfc, collect rb, adjust commit messages
- Link to v1:
